Warner Bros. Embraces Free-to-Play and Mobile, Shifts Away from AAA Console Games
TL;DR Summary
Warner Bros. Discovery's gaming boss J.B. Perrette discussed the company's strategy to focus on free-to-play, mobile, and live-service games to reduce volatility in the gaming market, leveraging their popular franchises like Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones, and DC. The company plans to invest in new mobile free-to-play games, while also continuing to develop big single-player AAA games and exploring opportunities in virtual reality and "virtual worlds." This approach differs from Disney's, which now licenses its franchises to other companies and is working with various partners on gaming projects.
